Your issue of the 14th contained the fol-
lowing paragraph. viii you kindly admit
to your columns my brief comments?
Rev. Sam Small says down in Georgia they give
a man fine of $500 for the first offence against
the prohibitory law, and for the second twelve
months in jail and he added, "they soon learn to
respect the law" In Maine man gets imprison.
ment for the first offence. Yet Gen. Dow thinks
Evidently If Gen. Dow is right and the Rev. Sam
Small is not wrong, the Maine rumSeller Is made
OF sterner stuff than his Georgia brother.
The temperance people asked of the last
legislature uniform penalty for every sale,
In violation OF law, viz, $500 and costs and
six months in jail; the fine and costs not
paid, one year additional in Jail. If the leg
islature had granted that, we should have no
grog shop in Bangor, Augusta. Bath. Bel
from the rumsellers that with such a law as
we proposed, they would at once shut up
shop and find some other way of making a
living. The thirty days in jail which the
legislature conceded to us and $50 fine has
had no effect whatever in suppressing the
rum shops.
When the bill was in the Senate, the thirty
days in Jail was struck out and fifteen days
inserted. Afterward the thirty days were re-
inserted in the bill, upon the statement of a
senator that the penalty was only attached
to an offence that rarely came before the
courts; so it would not hurt the rumsellers.
We have been thirty years striving to put
down the gr0g-shops. A few simple amend
ments to the law would do it promptly.
What amendments? Such as would make
II unproftdbte and uncomfortable to violate
the law. That and nothing more.
